The tuesday asb has been cancelled. The wednesday EMP has also been cancelled as I will be buring the disc tmr and I need si en to try out the disc first so it would be too rush to have emp on wed.

2008-07-08T05:48:00.000-07:00

Hi guys

Let me share with you my proposal.

Since the sec fours are still having their prelims and the sec three hcl students are still having their chinese oral, it is impossible to broadcast this week.

Therefore, this week will be planning week. We have to arrange the timeplan, who's gonna be on duty, etc.

And next week will be action week.
Monday: Morning podcasting
Tuesday: After School broadcasting
Wednesday: off day
Thursday: After School broadcasting
Friday: Morning podcasting and recess broadcasting

Sounds packed and hectic but absolutely possible.
I will ask for a noticeboard as soon as possible and hopefully, I will be able to put up the schedule asap. If not, I will post it on the blog and tell ppl to spread the message.

If next week goes on successfully, we will continue with this for two more weeks and then we will make some changes here and there.

=D
Crystal Ong

2008-06-22T03:42:00.001-07:00

And Jessica is right.
2.30pm on monday for the sec ones
and 2.30pm on thursday for the sec twos.
2.30pm to 4.30pm for the floorballers.

Love,
Crystal Ong

Sec threes, thursday is compulsory for you guys to come. If u wanna help out with the training and stuff, by all means, come on monday as well. Thanks

2008-06-22T03:29:00.000-07:00

Hi guys

Well, Mr Choo talked to some of us on monday and I think he is absolutely right. He is honest and straightforward and that's good. Being commented harshly is part of our route to success. But the most important thing is not to get discouraged but to actually work even harder to correct our mistakes and make him change the harsh comments to compliments.

I believe that will happen if Zion Zone members cooperate and work really hard together. Since Mr Choo has given us some suggestions to have after school live broadcasting, we will do it. and we will do it to the best of our abilities.

We must also do morning broadcasting and hopefully through firdaus's hard work, more emcees will be produced from Zion Zone.

Please, in order for all these to happen,
we all must work really hard.
no slacking around already.
no empty talk already.

we do it, and we do it well.

Zion Zone can achieve success.

We can

Love,
Crystal Ong

Dear Zion Zone members,

You are allowed to bring handphones BUT all of them will be temporarily kept by the sec threes. Don't worry, we will return them to you by the end of the camp. However, you can bring your camera along if you want to but zion zone will not be held responsible for any lost cameras. Thank you.

Love,
Crystal Ong

2008-06-14T03:41:00.000-07:00

Hi zion zone members,

Those who are going for the zion zone camp, please inform your parents that the camp will be held in school for both the 16th and 19th of June, except for amazing race which will be held outside school. Seniors (sec twos and threes) will have to take on the responsibility of taking care of the juniors. I'm sorry but Mr Yeo said that no consent forms will be given as it's not an overnight camp. Thank you for your understanding. Please continue to visit our blog as more news and information will be updated. Thanks.

Love,

Do you guys want to have a sneak peak at the Zion Tee design that me and Secrene have been working ~~so hard~~ on? =P

Click HERE!

The color of the design is pending. Depending on the t-shirt color. And this design is for the back. For the front, there will be one logo at the top left hand corner. Then on the sleeves would be our names/nick names. =D

So yeah, what do you think? And and, help us think of a suitable tee shirt color. White would be nice. But like what secrene said, girls would disagree with white because of tikopeks. xDD

Hi guys

I cried so many times when I watched the Si Chuan donation programme just now
The victims of the Myanmar and Si Chuan earthquake really need your help
We are really fortunate to be living well in Singapore
We can all do our part in giving the victims a helping hand.
Many people have done their parts
I have done my part
And if you have not donated, now is the time for you to do your part
Even if it's $6, it is still the thought that counts.
Many $6 can also make up a huge sum
Do what you can.
If you have the strength to donate more, please do so.
Thank you.

Crystal

Zioners, let's do our part! =)

2008-05-16T06:11:00.000-07:00

Hi Firdaus - I've discussed with my colleagues here, and it looks like they are arranging a sort of "boot camp" for the students who have formed teams and joined the competition. This would be the best time for me to teach you some JavaScript, as well as give you starter code and tips. I'll let you know when it's confirmed.

Meanwhile, has your team registered for the competition yet? It's very important to get that done, since the deadline has technically past already. You can follow the registration procedures here: http://www.nokia-widgetschallenge.com/registration.html. Please help me to inform the other students at PHS who are interested as well.

Thanks!
- Scott

Hey guys, I emailed Mr. Scott Jones (PHS Mentor for the Nokia Widget Competition). Here's my email, then followed by his reply!

Dear Mr. Scott Jones of Nanyang Polytechnic,

RE: Extra Mentoring in the Nokia Widget Competition

This email is to seek your help in mentoring us from Presbyterian High School for the Nokia Widget Competition. As your colleague did not cover on how to develop Javascript, which is the most essential part of a widget, we still do not have an idea on how to develop Javascript.

We seek your cooperation for further training us. All of us here at Presbyterian High School were ignited the passion for HTML, CSS, etc. We are enthusiastic about furthering our knowledge to Javascript.

We hope to see a favourable reply.

Yours Sincerely
Firdaus Firlany B Roslan
1 Devotion 2008
Zion Zone 52.9
Infocomm Society
Presbyterian High School

Here's the REPLY! (:

Hi Firdaus!

Great to hear that you and your classmates are enthusiastic about the Widget technology and the FN competition! Yes, unfortunately because of the size of the class and the level of the students, the instructors were unable to cover JavaScript or go into too much depth. But hopefully it gave them a general idea of what Widgets are, and whetted the appetite of those students who are serious about learning more and joining the competition, such as yourself.

I will be happy to conduct a class on JavaScript for you and the other students who are motivated and wish to learn more. Let me discuss with my colleagues here first to see what the best time & framework for that should be...my feeling is that for the students who are serious about the competition and who have formed their teams and come up with ideas, we should invite them back for a more advanced class on JavaScript and Widgets. First I need to get feedback from the staff who conducted the previous training, and we'll decide what's the best plan. Note that the Forum Nokia people may change the format of the competition as well, depending on how many teams actually sign up and are capable of building Widgets.

Give me a few days to look into this, Firdaus, and I'll get right back to you. Again, it's great to see your passion and thirst for knowledge!

Cheers!
= Scott Jones

=) Yay! We might have more trainings!

GO ZION♥!

i just want to add on some point to what crystal say. we as sec 4 at time do make mistake also we also did misuse the room at time and bring in our friend i would like to say sorry!. and i also hope that each member in zion zone will learn to treasure whatever previllage is given to you. we might not have a teacher in charge, we might not train u like uniform group or punish you like other CCA but this does not give your the right to camp over higher authority i believe in each of you, your have to walk out of your own comfort zone!. "it does not take one day to change but the effort count" :D

take care.

Hi

The training session at NYP was hilarious, especially the part when we got lost in nyp. haha, can't imagine it

anyway, no time to joke
let's get serious now.

there are bound to be rules everywhere you go in life, no matter if it is in school, at home, at work or whatsoever. We have to follow a set of rules in order to maintain fairness, discipline and teamwork in Zion Zone. and all these will be helpful on our pathway to success.
Okay, so let's get the rules started.

Golden Rule No 1
No using of Zion Zone room for any other reasons other than that of course, for Zion Zone sessions.
Well, Zion Zone room is not a place to hang out or enjoy air-con. Don't have to feel guilty if you have already broken the first golden rule. Just don't do this next time. Only Jessica and I or other sec threes can give you permission to use the room. So, inform us if you have to use the room. But still, your reason must have got to do with Zion Zone.

Golden Rule No 2
No bringing of friends into Zion Zone room. I'm terribly sorry if I have brought my friends in previously but rest assured, I won't do that ever again. You, too. Unless you want your friends to get scolded by me. (which I hate that a lot) I dislike telling people off as they will roll their eyes at me and show me the irritated face, so don't make me do that again. do your friends, yourself and me a favor.

Golden Rule No 3
Please be reminded, once you step into Zion Zone room, you must show respect to all of the members, including yourself. Making a fool of yourself isn't showing much respect to yourself. Behaving yourself is.

Golden Rule No 4
No vulgarities are allowed in Zion Zone room. I take this really seriously. I hate hearing vulgarities the most. They make me feel so offended. You are also offending other innocent parties by your vulgarities. Therefore, don't say them even if you know or don't know what they mean.

Golden Rule No 5
Keep quiet when you are supposed to. I get sore throats really easily and as you know, my voice isn't really loud. So, please cooperate if I request you to stop talking and listen to me.

Golden Rule No 6
Please, Zion Zone is not another cca for you to pon.
I care about attendance a lot. Just come even if you have no idea what we are going to do on that day. I know you are busy, you have stuff going on, but you still have to make time for Zion Zone. Worse come to worse, inform me earlier why you can't come on that date. and I expect a valid reason.

Golden Rule No 7
Try your best to be as polite and friendly as possible, especially to teachers and whoever who are working in phs. We will bring honour and pride and recognition to Zion Zone once the teacher recognizes us. For example, if you are in council, many teachers would think that you are really disciplined(well, they mostly are). Therefore, your cca and you are strongly linked.

Golden Rule No 8
Grab any opportunities that come in your way. For example, if you have been chosen to make a presentation in class or be an emcee for a certain event, grab this chance immediately. Like, immediately immediately. I know, you might be shy or something, but you still have to overcome your fear one day.

That's all for now. I might improve or add in new rules along the way. So, please be prepared. Thank you.
Remember,
It's not your choice if you want to follow the rules, you have and are obliged to so long if you are a member of Zion Zone 52.9.
And please, don't call our cca zz. It sounds so wrong.
haha. yeah.

Crystal Ong
President of Zion Zone 52.9
(Jessica, you can tell me if you have any opinion with these rules and I can work things out with you. Thanks.)

NANYANG POLY!

2008-03-28T04:02:00.000-07:00

Hey my fellow ZIONERS!

Here are the photos taken on Wednesday, when most of us actually went to Nanyang Poly to train on how to do Widgets! It was a great and fun journey there with Audio Engineering Club and a lost and fun journey back! All of us were so great and funny together! Haha. Here are the photos!

Enjoy the images! Maybe anyone with Adobe Photoshop skills can edit those photos and make it a banner =D

And I can write a guide of HTML and CSS for you guys if you want! It may help the progress of the competition. (:

2008-03-12T18:59:00.000-07:00

thanks to fir, it suddenly occurred to me that zionzone's history was not exactly made known to all. well, i'll try to fix up the history of zionzone! :D

hit the rewind button to year 2004.

zionzone was set up for the purpose of improving our school's language command.
during that year, the first batch of zionzone DJs are

-amira
-kokwhey
-teehao
-melissa
-keith
-andre
-debbie
-mitchell

and i cant remember the rest D:
super sorry! hahaha. i'll try to find their pictures if i can!

have you ever wondered what does zionzone52.9 means?

well, you see. zion is some kind of representation in christian faith.
which im not so sure of (so, someone, help me here!) haha.
and 52.9 is the school's land code!
let me show you :D

PRESBYTERIAN HIGH SCHOOL
Address: 5209, ANG MO KIO AVENUE 6 ( 569845 )
Tel : 64543722 Fax : 64543430

ah ha! :D
now you see?
5209 to 52.9, whereby the 0 becomes a .
yeah :D

let me give you guys a link.
CLICK HERE :D

it used to be the blog for zionzone ages ago,
when mitchell is the moderator. but not much people know about its existence.

our seniors got first hand training from a DJ.
a real DJ, Belinda sunshine.

thats her!

and amira won the wannabe contest during 2005 :D
she was the president of zionzone as well.

the next batch of DJs are the current sec4s.
namely,

-clarice
-jianyi
-kuekjing
-clara
-sijie
-minyen
(excluding those who left halfway)

we didn't have the chance to get trained by Belinda as she could not be contacted.

our teacher in-charge then was Mdm Genevive Tan

yepp! :D her!

our duty then was to broadcast to the whole school on a daily basis,
but there was a serious technical fault.
so, we couldn't do our broadcasting as much as we wanted to.
at that time, we weren't into podcasting yet.

then mdm tan left.
mr edmund choo took over us as the teacher-in-charge.

in came the current sec3s!

-crystal
-jessica
-rachel
-eunice
-melissa
-paulyn
(konk me in the head if i've left out anyone!)

then mr arthur choo came too.
uh, he was just working in our school for a short period before his army.
although it wasn't in his job scope, he helped zionzone alot.
like getting a mac and teaching us podcasting, credits to the two choos :D

well, he came, left an impression, and left.

yadayadayada (check out the archives!)
, and you guys came :DD

haha.

thats about the roots of zionzone i guess?
hahaha! :D
might be too vague, but we wouldn't want this to become like the history texbook's evil twin eh?

haha!

sorry for the delayed release :D

loads of love;
minyen!

Hi GUYS!
I recieved this email from Mrs Lua
You guys can read it.
=)

Dear Crystal,
Pls forward this mail to all the Zion ZOne members involved in Emceeing for the JJ Fair.

A BIG Thank You for your dedication and hardwork during the JJ Fair. You stepped forward and did a great job with very little preparation when needed. I will see what I can do to provide you with the teacher support needed for your further development. You have displayed fantastic planning and steadfastness. Keep up the good work. Thank you for cooperating with the alumni Sheryl and Dion sent to guide you. It was a wonderful surprise to find a complete list of volunteers for the Emcees job with duties all allocated and time slots provided on Friday morning when the instructions was given to Crystal only on Thursday night. No need to enlist outside help at all ( and none came forward after the morning announcement for volunteers.) What a relief for me. You displayed one of the principles of good governance, "anticipate change, stay relevant" (the sec 3s will understand what I mean).
Once again, thank you.

Regards
Mrs Anne Lua
Senior Teacher Presbyterian High School

Yay!

Crystal

hey all! i think this is my first post for zionzone! been wanting to post, and i have found a reason to now haha! ok i'll keep this short and sweet.

ok first of all, great job to all of you guys! ;D i seriously think that this is maybe the most successful zionzone outing ever! you guys showed great energy and great enthusiasm and i want you guys to maintain in! coz thats what zion zone requires: ENERGY! not very much on the techincal sides though, that we can train. but energy, you need to have it. either you do or you dont, and its very much related to your passion to deejaying. and i am proud of you guys, especially for some of you, you really exceeded my expectations and proved me wrong.

on the other hand, i would like to see more coming out from ppl! dont be afraid to be wrong, get it wrong once, then try again. wrong again, try again. in the end you will get it, so just keep trying and dont be afraid! the dare-to-do spirit...hmm i hope to seee it from you guys more, espcially from the seniors, coz YOU are the ones leading the pack and you have to be able to coordinate different people to different tasks. i would really like to thank crystal! she has done a very good job and yeah you guys better listen to her ok? coz even i give her respect :D

on a lighter note, i feel zionzone is heading in the right direction! keep going guys and keep it up!

love ya all,

2008-02-23T19:50:00.000-08:00

hey people (:
I really need to apologize, i havent been active in zionzone529 for so long!):
ive been really stressed up and busy with so many things, but i have not forsaken zionzone alright !

I have many things to say so please bear with me.

Firstly, i realise that being your zionzone senior, i have not put in as much effort and time as the others, such as Crystal, Jessica and the others who are doing such a great job.
I have very poor time management skills and being in 3 ccas is hard work.
I hope that you all would not complain and use me as an example to skip training.
I also promise that i would be more proactive and regular in my attendance! i know you all miss my presence so so much, thankewww.
Remember that passion in ZionZone is extremely important and we would like to groom you all up to become great, or even awesomer Deeejays than us. (:

/edit
i also realise that its not easy to juggle between ccas and studies, but persevere people!(:
you all can do it!

Another thing i would like to address is Respect.
Respect is something that is earned and not demanded. Being seniors, we have been through more rainy and sunny days.
Attitude is of priority to us. Even though i was not there on that day when you all went out to buy materials for zionzone decoration, i have heard about the situation.
Please, attitude in zionzone is very important.
If you dont have it, you are welcomed to leave.
There are crazy fun moments, but there are also times to be serious, do understand that.

Last but not least, is taking initiative.
Initiative can come in many ways. Such as taking the initiative to tell us when you cant come for trainings or other activities, helping us whenever you see that we need help etc. Get the idea?
Dont just sit there and be in your own world. We are all together to help make Zionzone progress and be known, be heard!(:

to crystal!(:
i can help in zionzoneteeee!;D
hehehe.
( Theres Zionzone training for sec1s tmrw. )

Love you guys,
Paulyn!
♥

2008-02-17T06:08:00.000-08:00

Hi guys

Just a reminder =)

Zion Zone will resume on the 25th of Feb for the sec ones and 28th Feb for the sec twos. =]

We will decorate the room on the 25th of feb and if we still can't finish it, we will continue on the 28th.

Sec twos and threes: have to make more morning podcasts.

SiEn and I are planning to have a combined camp(audio engineering and zion zone) in June.
Excited?

Haha.

Everyone: Tag your blog address as I have to link you guys.
Thanks.

Minyen: I will contact Mitchell at the end of common test as I need to discuss the trainings with the other sec threes and the earliest proper training might be after the march holidays. But don't worry, I will contact him asap as we need his help too =) Thanks!

I need some volunteers to design our Zion Zone tee. I'm not good at art you see?
haha.

Love Zion Zone with all your heart and soul,
Crystal =)

To all:
We only managed to buy the materials as the security guards told us that we can't enter the room after a certain time.
But nevertheless, we will continue decorating the room AFTER COMMON TEST.
Thank you.

To Naveen:
I will discuss this with the sec fours and get back to you via phone asap.

Crystal

2008-02-02T01:41:00.000-08:00

It has been a disastrous outing.

Had fun? this wasn't the fun that i expected.

Firdaus, Ka Lam, Yi Zhou and Chin Kuang were fine.

Jing kang was vulgar and too mischievious but still tolerable.

But Gabriel wasn't.
You better change your attitude. and yes, this is a warning. If you refuse to change for the better, let me tell you, the other seniors and I have the right to just kick your butt out of Zion Zone. Try me. I am seriously pissed off by Gabriel's attitude. and even the security guard agrees with me.
Not happy? FINE. I think you owe me and the security guards an apology. If you still refuse to repent, QUIT.
Jing kang, there's still room for a lot of improvement
But Gabriel, apologise and repent, and i might think of forgiving you.
you are so vulgar...not only to your seniors but the security guards.
CHANGE YOUR ATTITUDE for goodness sake.

Crystal
I will post more info about other stuff soon.

2008-02-01T19:56:00.000-08:00

hello pple!
its jessica here. x)

actually what crystal says is right.
being passionate tuu zionzone is VERY impt.

iim nt being a good vice-president, nn iim nt much help tuu crystal.
ii know this perfectly well.
bt yea, iim trying my best.
so everybody must try their best too k. xD
APOLOGIES TUU CRYSTAL. x(

2008-02-01T18:12:00.000-08:00

Hi people

I can finally understand how minyen felt when she became the president of Zion Zone 52.9
Yes, happy, of course
But, that comes with a price
And let me tell you, the price is BIG

I realised that there are constantly 3 things blocking our way to success
- technical problems
- attendance
- passion

Technical problems are really obvious and straightforward.. I don't think I have to say them all out.

Attendance.
It is strongly related to passion.
With passion, you will come for every Zion Zone stuff that we have
With passion, you will treat Zion Zone as your second home
With passion, you will treat every Zion Zone member as your closest friend
With passion, you will spend your heart and soul in Zion Zone even IF you don't get CCA points
With passion, Zion Zone can be a success.

That's what's lacking.
I know you guys have your own stuff. But there's always a time for Zion Zone.

From now onwards, I hope you guys can try your very best to contribute to Zion Zone. Thank you very much.
I really hope this doesn't affect your mood or anything. this post is just to tell you guys to work even harder.

I hate to be fierce. I seriously do. But I know that if I'm not strict enough, Zion Zone will be destroyed in my hands.
My friends should know me really well. I seldom get angry. But since i became the new president of Zion Zone 52.9, I told myself something--- It's time for Zion Zone to be heard.
I will feel really guilty if Zion Zone still can't get more popular by next year.
I bet you guys will too.
Therefore, I seriously need your help

Let us all work hand in hand
And make Zion Zone a pride of PHS.

We can and we will.

Crystal Ong
President of Zion Zone 52.9
i like it better to be called as president as it sounds BIG =)

2008-02-01T07:12:00.000-08:00

2008-01-07T04:32:00.000-08:00

hey people!

its 2008 alreadyyyyyy.
time flies huh.

we've got each of our ups and downs for the year 2007,
i've got a fair share of mine too.

being the director of zionzone made me learn alot.
beyond that of what you can learn from teachers and trainers.

i've learnt that, in order to get everyone's motivation going,
i've gta first be motivated.
it isnt always easy though.

Our cca is young, and still is weak.
i hope that albeit we're still vulnerable, each year, we will progress.
slowly.

one factor, is the technicalities.
we cannot really do much if some wires or machines cock up.
but this hindered much of our performance.
nevertheless, we still managed to deliver the event to the best of our abilities.

I've also learnt that not everything can be spoon fed.
Initiative, is what i want all of you to learn.
Once any of you have any idea, please, voice it out.

Mitchell passed me the baton last year.
since then, im constantly thinking of what else can i do for zionzone.
at times, i felt handicapped.
at times, i felt inspired to do many things.

some opportunities have to be fought for,
or else it will be lost.

Soon, it will be time to pass the baton on too.

to some of you, this blog post may be somewhat abstract.
perhaps some of you might find this very uh, coherent.

anyway, when the sec4s hold the handover meeting,
sec3s, its your show.

ohyah!
mitchell poon is more than willing to help out. :D
he's just a phone call away!

loadsa love,
minyen :D

2007-11-29T17:35:00.000-08:00

Heya guys!

Reflection on Zion Zone Camp Nov '07

Well, I seriously think that this whole camp was FUN! Although the attendance saddens me, i still think that the camp was way great, meaningful and fruitful to me as i have learnt lots of stuff from it.

Day 1
We started off with the preparation of the water bombs(credits to melissa, paulyn, eunice, me and minyen) and soon, we then proceeded to the playing part. We were all soaking wet but i guess we all had a laugh about it as it was really enjoyable splashing and throwing water bombs at each other! hehe...
Next, we played scissors, papers, stone on the benches and that's where paulyn got injured on her foot. It all happened when one of the benches fell and I was playing on it and ya, I fell but unhurt but paulyn was standing beside and therefore it hit onto her foot. She was in pain and everyone started to comfort her with soothing words and encouragement. I felt really touched and suddenly thought that this world is such a happy place to live in where everyone shows their concern for you. hehe...
After that, we had training and indoor games and lunch.
Next was amazing race. As paulyn's foot was injured, she decided to stop halfway as the pain was overwhelming. I followed her and we went back to our bunk to take a rest. Melissa was there too as one of the contact lences broke in her eye and she was indeed in pain. She took her contact lences out already but her eye was still red and painful. I really pitied her as i can sort of feel her pain as my mama and sis and bro got sore eyes before and they felt really painful already and I bet mel felt double the pain.
Next, we had dinner and it was time for our training and then, nightwalk. The nightwalk was really, freaking SCARY!!!!!!!!!!! Arhhhhh!!!!!!! We were holding each other's hands really tightly, not wanting to let go. This shows how scared we all were.
Paulyn went home after that and Johnson carried her down the stairs!!!!!!!!!!! haha! Through the camp, I have found out that he is really caring and helpful as not only did he help Paulyn with her foot injury, he also helped Melissa with her eye injury. Thanks man!
After the washing up, Minyen came back with her ahem ahem.... hehe! Some thought that ahem ahem was handsome and hot! haha! After she washed up, she told us some of her personal stuff and ya, i suddenly felt that my relationship between Minyen and all the Zion Zone members became closer. And after that, nites!

2nd Day
We had breakfast, training, lunch and then i needed to go for my jap class. When i came back, it was time for bbq. We ate hotdogs, fish, pork... It was quite fun during the bbq as me and mel played the charcoal game. My face ended up so balck with all the charcoal fingerprints and stokes on it, thanks to melissa... haha! After that, we also had training and then, we proceeded to treasure hunt! The zion zone members were suppossed to scare the pa crew but I guess we ended up more scared ourselves! haha! After that, i had to go home due to some *ahem stuff...
OHya! Mel's eye was totally recovered by then! yay!

3rd Day
We had our morning exercises, breakfast and debrief.

Overall, I felt that the meals were alright, the people were fun to hang out with and I ahve learnt lots of stuff such as using the mixer to create a clearer sound, bonding with the zion zone and pa members and last but not least, I have learnt to show my compassion, sympathy, love, care and concern to those around me. Once again, I would like to give my heartfelt thanks to Minyen(for taking care of us during the camp), Clarice(for coming to visit us despite being so busy), Paulyn(for giving me a chance to show my concern for you and partnering me during
the amazing race and spending so many hours thinking about the games for the camp with me), Eunice(for caring so much for Melissa and participating in most of the camp activities), Melissa(for staying through out the whole camp and making me know how caring zz and pa members are), Jessica(for making an effort to attend our camp despit having singout), Qihui(for staying through out the whole camp despite being the only sec 1 around), Johnson(for caring so much for the zz members and planning the camp), Petrina(for planning the camp), Clara and Sijie(for making an effort to attend the camp), other pa crew(for making this camp so lively).

Thanks!

Crystal Ong =)

2007-11-29T04:31:00.000-08:00

YO people :D
MELISSA HERE to blog about our Zion Zone + audio crew camp [ combined ]

DAY ONE
reached school at around 7.40 sharp.
a little late =X Should be at 7.30 sharp de! SORRY CRYSTAL!
Crystal was the first to reach alright. always the most punctual. :D
YAYS ! we all must really learn from her. hahas.
Yeahs. Me and Eunice were the second to reach [cuz we meet together]
Then we help Crystal to make WATER BOMB (:
Then Min Yen came, followed by Paulyn.
Oh yah. And Qi Hui too. :D
Budden only got the five of us ><
so when everyone came, we checked into our bunks and the interactive games started :]]

AND NONE OF THE GUYS TURNED UP WHICH IS SO DISAPPOINTING !
so the first game of the day, we played water bomb !
The game goes like this: We have to answer questions and if we get it wrong, TADAS !
our clothes get wet x(

Then the next game was the scissor paper stone game
Ahh. This game was disastrous.
we played until halfway, Then the bench fall, and PAULYN was standing near the bench.
So the bench obviously fall on her )x WHICH IS LIKE SO PAINFUL !
Better don't talk about it ><
Dearest PAULYN. hope you will recover soon!
Rest well and don't run about too much until your leg is fully healed :D
LOVES YOU :]

So after that, we went back to Zion Zone room, since the game cannot be continued any more.
Then we played murderer, and pass the present until lunch time.

After lunch, we had amazing race !
AND MinYen didn't join us T.T.
nevertheless, we had much fun ;]
My group members were adelin, banglian, jingxian, xueni, veronica and ME
seniors were Alicia, xavier, Yaozong.

So Alicia handed us the first clue.
Then we solved it.
but it ended up to be the WRONG clue!
lucky we solved the correct clue before the train arrived :D
So our first stop was Novena, where we had to finish a medium coke.
Then, went to our next station which was city hall. {:
our task was to find the war memorial park and take photos with 5 people.

so we went to our next station: Kallang.
Alicia gave us part 2 of the clue, which was the 大长今 song.
That was the nicest stop. Cause it was the only one which i knew where it was ! :D
So we rushed to the restuarant, took a picture of it and off we go to our next place
Yeahs. And if i never remember wrongly, my eyes started to get itchy here and it keeps tearing.
but i didn't tell my members or anyone ><
Cause, i don't want them to slow down cause of me. So we went on.

NEXT STATION: army market.
we had to find the pictures in the paper that alicia had gave us.
and we solved it real quick. :D
next stop: dhoby ghuat.
had to go to cathay building to check the moving timings.
[ which i think i didn't went with them? cause my contacts really anoying]
and the hao xin Yao Zhong helped me to buy eye drop for contacts.
So for this station, veronica me and Yao Zhong didn't go with the rest.

So after the rest came back, we went to the next place, newton.
have to find someone who can answer any of newton's law.
then the girl that we purposely dont want to ask first knew the answer. x(
So, we completed the task.

Then the next station was Bishan.
AND my contacts give me so much problem, that i had no choice but to go back school x(
Xavier accompanied me back, Then i went to toilet and took the contact out.
When i walked out of the toilet saw CRYSTAL :D
So she told me she and paulyn came back school cause paulyn's leg very pain.
Yeahs. Then we went back to classroom and guess what? WE SLEEP!
Slept until Eunice and QiHui came back from the amazing race.

Then Clarice came. :D
My eyes were so frustrating la !
when i was sleeping it was ok.
Then when wake up my eyes so pain again, althought my contact was taken OUT LE !
FRUSTRATING T.T

Then when dinner time, i can't stand the pain, i CRIED out! x(
Then clarice and the others ask me what happen, and i said my eyes super pain!
So Clarice asked me to take a rest first, and dinner will be brought to me.
So i went to sleep. then wake up that time, eyes pain again ! =.=
Not long, clarice came back with my packet of rice, followed by the others.
and my dearest EUNICE was so KIND :D
so feed me! But one spoon of rice[only rice] $100!

Then Clarice called Johnson come.
And he brought with him the eye wash? two types.
The first one cannot works. so we used the 2nd one
Which was so funny larhs !
That one is press one. and i put my eyes at the hole there.
then the water will splash out, which is like urine. x)
Yeahs. And after a few of the "URINE" eye wash, my eyes feel better.

So we went to Mr Choo's training.
Then after that is the night walk.
Before the night walk or somewhr in the middle of it, Clarice went home X(
SO SAD! so couldn't stay overnight.
Which is quite scary :D But i guess is we ownself scare ourself! LOLS
Then after the night walk, we went bathing, then went back to our bunk
And waited for Min Yen to come back.
After some GHOST stories of Min Yen and Eunice, we went to sleep :]]

DAY TWO
woke up at around 7 plus. {SO EARLY :D}
Had pt [which was so tiring !] before our breakfast.
Clara, Si Jie and Jessica joined us for today events :D
Then after that, we had all sorts of games.
And one of them was the 终极密码
loser will have to get bombed la.
But in the end they used one whole pail of water.
Which was so funny.
And we also played the captain's ball. using the audio crew's super duper big
RED BALL to play.
Which is so hard to catch la. TT
And my team loses. ):
So the other team get to bomb us !
SADDED . But it was fun ! :]]
after that, Si Jie and clara went home :(

after the water games, we went back to our bunks and dried ouselves :]]
Feel so cleaned :D:D
Then HERE comes the BBQ part.
But for the BBQ part, we only EAT (:
They brought like 150 HOTDOGS.
So we had hotdogs for appetizer, hotdogs for main course and STILL hotdogs for dessert.
Got prawns. But didn't get to eat it ):
Then got some fish and chicken.
Jessica ate ONE hotdog. Then she went off also ]:
halfway through Min Yen came back, with lots of tibits that she brought for everyone of us. :D
So we ate some of the tibits too.
Then some of us played scissor paper stone and the winner gets to use charcoal to draw on the winner's face. So fun ;D
and i drew a lot of funny things on Crystal's face ;D
YAYS :D:D

Then after all these games, we finally had our training :D
after the training, we had treasure hunt and ZION ZONE is the host.
The audio crew juniors had to verus the seniors.
the whole school was in complete darkness except for some source of light from the outside.
Then they had to find candy canes without any source of light !

yeahs. So it was quite fun. except that i had lots of mosquito bite after that X(
So we went to bathe, SUPER CLEAN AGAINS ;D
then everyone[almost] came to our bunk to watch the haunted school
Since we are in SCHOOL, the atmosphere is super scary. x:
I dare not watch quite a lot of the parts.. so i used my pink jacket to cover.
And quite a lot of us were scared.
watched the video until 2 plus, Then we went to sleep.
And Min Yen was still talking on the phone until 3 plus.

DAY THREE
slept till quite late, around 8 plus.
Then Min Yen called us all up
after washup, joined the audio people for their pt.
which is like so funny.
Then we had breakfast. [biscuits again x) actually was quite nice! hahas]
And after that is debrief and everything.
After that, we packed all our stuffs.
Then we planned to eat lunch together, but its still early.
and since everyone very tired, we cancel the lunch trip.
clean up our bunks, then checked out of it.
Returned the key to the audio people.
AND OFF WE GO.
And of course, GOODBYES to Crystal, Eunice, Qi Hui and MinYen :]]

It was quite funny.
When we are leaving that time, i got a weird weird feeling.
like 不舍得 to part with everyone.
But we still part, of course :]
So after all the goodbyes and see you, we all went home seperately :D
______________________________________________________

I really love the camp super a lot !
I learned a lot of new stuffs from the audio crew people during this camp.
The audio crew people were all fun and easy to get a long with.
AND i realised that Eunice is such is caring person :D
crystal and Min yen TOO :]]

I REALLY WANT ANOTHER CAMP AGAIN - with the audio crew people. (:
Super fun, nice and successful!
CHEERS !

SUPER BIG THANKS TO ALL THOSE WHO HAD CARED FOR ME DURING THE CAMP.

Reflect!

2007-09-23T08:03:00.000-07:00

HELLO homosapiens :D
first, let me warn you but my reflection is in typically informal style, hope you all dont mind :x

My 'Ncc Kayaking Sea Competition' Reflection.

The Ncc Kayaking competition turned out to be real fun for me, as compared to the previous 2006 competition, which was such a disaster! (in a way)
I can still remember feeling so bored that i fell asleep (oops), which i assumed would be a pretty similar feeling i would get for this 2007 competition.

However, i was pleasantly surprised that everything turned out to be awesome, and i got the time to bond with crytal, secrene, pamela, veronica and clara!
It was mighty fun i tell you.
Really too bad i didnt attend on the first day ):

anyway, back to more important stuff.

I loved doing the commentating job, where we stand at the mike and just talk our feelings out. It just comes to show that when youre doing announcements, your voice is the boss. Your voice brings out everything, especially when youre reading results.

I find that the most difficult thing to do is to encourage the crowd to cheer and get high.
We cant simply command them to cheer, its obviously their own decision.
But i really think that if we simply say it right, it would uh, sway them to cheer?
Well, something like that, but i cant figure it out.
somebody, enlighten me please.

The crazy schedule was really rushed for me, as i like to take things easy.
Once the competitions began, they simply went on, one after the other. However, after each kayak race, Minyen (first half) and Clara would debrief us. I really admire the both of them that they are able to take so much responsibility and teach us how to improve ourselves but have fun at the same time. This really takes the pressure and stress off all of us. I think you both make me feel really secure and puts me in an easygoing atmosphere. :D
thanks truckloads for being there for all of us,
especially minyen, since it was her birthday that day!
shes aging fast huh.

Prize Presentation

The prize presentation was a blast, it was great having to improvise quickly and say what was on the paper!
Strangly, despite the miscommunication and pressure at that time, i really enjoyed it and savour the moment :D
Plus, you know youre in the limelight when your voice is the one that people are listening to :D
It was pretty tough but im glad everyone kept their cool and didnt panic. That moment had drastic changes, but it taught us how to think on our feet fast and efficiently.

At the end of it all, its been a really enriching and fantastic experience for me. I also want to add on to the secondary ones that you all are doing a great jobbbbbb. :D I think Crystal had alot of stress that day as she attented on the first day and knew most of what was happening, thus she was our main in-charge :D I totally admire her and i had superly fab fun. Our bonding that day was incredible and i enjoyed every moment of it.
Cant wait for next years Ncc Kayaking Competition! :D

Much thanks to everyone for the fun, laughter and food that we shared, which i will cherish ;D

hugs from me!
Paulyn!

2007-09-11T04:00:00.000-07:00

My Reflection for NCC kayaking sea competition

Well, seriously, I really enjoyed it, especially on the 2nd day when we had prize presentations. Although the 2nd day was rather stressful as we had to improvise, I still find it really memorable and honored to be able to be one of the emcees there. Yes, the 2nd day there was indeed tiring as Clara wanted me to be kind of the in-charge there as I had gained some experience from the 1st day. However, I felt really blessed and relieved when all of us were united and treating each other so friendly and harmoniously. I really enjoyed the good rapport with everyone. We even had time to gossip! (Secret! Shhh…. Haha!)

I did not really like the 1st half of the 1st day as it was quite a bore. We had to make announcements, do this, do that although we were not that familiar and comfortable with the machines and the commentating tactics and skills. However, after a few hours of chilling and familiarizing with the surroundings and people, I got more enthusiastic and energetic. I tried my best to accommodate and get accustomed to Clara’s instructions and accomplished almost all of my tasks at the end. However, I was not very satisfied and contented with my performance on the 1st day as I did not have much commitment yet.

However, I managed to try my best to get myself in the right mood for commentating and I eventually felt really comfortable. I did not really dread the long hours compared to the first day. I enjoyed commentating and getting used to the hectic and busy schedule.

From those two days, I have learned many many many useful stuff such as being a confident emcee, knowing how to improvise and complete a task in a messy situation and some commentating skills. I also don’t mind sharing some of my experiences and skills to those who are keen to learn. =)

I would also like to seize this opportunity to thank Clara. She has been a great leader and in-charge for the whole NCC sea competition. I seriously admire her as I know it is really difficult to be a responsible and efficient leader. She helped us sort out some stuff and made our jobs easier. Although she might be kinda harsh and strict at times, I know it is all for our own good right? Clara, I bet no one really blames you for being harsh to them. To show my heartfelt thanks, I would like to confess something right here, right now.

CLARA THANKS A MILLION! YOU ARE SUPERB=))))))))))))))))))

I would also like to thank somebody, although it is kinda out of point.

MINYEN YOU ARE THE BEST! NO MATTER HOW WELL WE SCORE FOR OUR CHINESE PROJECT, WE WOULD STILL GIVE YOU A TREAT CAUSE THIS IS JUST WHAT YOU RIGHTFULLY DESERVE. =)

In general, the NCC kayaking sea competition has been a fruitful and enjoyable one and I will remember it always.
I’m lovin’ it. THAT’S ALL! =) Crystal Ong =)
